Don't Forget To Remember Me

Eighteen years had come and gone

For momma they flew by

But for me they drug on and on

We were loadin' up that chevy

Both tryin' not to cry

Momma kept on talkin' puttin' off goodbye

Then she took my hand and said

Baby don't forget

Before you hit the highway you better stop for gas

And there's a fifty in the ashtray if you run short on cash

Here's a map and here's a bible if you ever lose your way

Just one more thing before you leave

Don't forget to remember me

This downtown apartment sure makes me miss home

And those bills there on the counter keep tellin' me I'm on my own

Just like every sunday I called mama up last night

And even when it's not I tell her everything's all right

Before we hung up I said

Hey mama don't forget

To tell my baby sister I'll see her in the fall

Tell mamaw that I miss her yeah I should giver her a call

And make sure that you tell daddy that I'm still his little girl

Yeah I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be

But don't forget to remember me

Tonight I find myself kneelin' by the bed to pray

Haven't done this in a while so I don't know what to say

But lord I feel so small sometimes in this big old place

Yeah I know there's more important things

But don't forget to remember me
